Azure AD group-based license management for Office 365 and more
This looks awesome - simplify licence management for Office 365, EMS, Dynamics 365 and more with the https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2017/02/22/announcing-the-public-preview-of...
Group-based licensing will be a feature of all the paid Azure AD editions. (And it is included now during the public preview period)
That means Azure AD Basic, Azure AD Premium P1 and P2 and of course EMS E3 and E5 that includes Azure AD Premium.
Also will be a feature of Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E5 when it becomes generally avaialble.
Now, for EDU organizations things are rather simple becasue Azure AD Basic is free for them so by adding the free Azure AD Basic edition to their tenant they can use Group-Based Licensing for all the related products.
I hope this helps

So I have set up a few AD groups that we will use to apply the licenses.
I have also set up a powershell script set up that will clear membership of those groups and refresh them every hour or so to account for changes (new users, changed situations, etc).
If I am clearing those groups out and replacing all the users frequently, is there anything to be concerned with from the group-based licensing process perspective? Or other gotchas?
Or would this be a pretty low risk process (given the code is built to properly populate the groups)?
